Robert McGhee Joins the Heart of the Arctic Expedition

Adventure Canada is saddened to announce that Archaeologist Pat
Sutherland will no longer be able to join us on our Heart of the Arctic
Expedition 2009. She is, however, being replaced by fellow
archaeologist, Robert McGhee.

Robert
has carried out field research in most areas of Arctic Canada and
occasionally in other polar regions.  His investigations have included
pioneering studies of the first peoples to occupy Arctic North America;
the development of the Inuit way of life; and the archaeology of early
European exploration of the Arctic regions.  He has lectured and
written widely on Arctic history, for both academic and general
audiences.  The latter books include Ancient People of the Arctic (1996); The Arctic Voyages of Martin Frobisher: An Elizabethan Adventure (2001); and most recently The Last Imaginary Place: A Human History of the Arctic World (2004). He is currently a curator of Archaeology at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec.
